Fantastic Four General News & Discussion Thread (TAG SPOILERS)

Ineson as Galactus is GOATED. Hopefully not a one and done.

 

[Willie Lumpkin]

The only reason why I don't pay much attention but also at the same time don't completely count out rumors is because Pascal, Kirby, Moss-Bachrach and Quinn were all being kicked around the rumor mill for a while before they were officially announced.

Ineson as Galactus is a nice surprise, but I still have my doubts about him being the only Galactus we see in the MCU since it's pretty clear that FF is in an alternate universe.

Doesn’t Galactus span Universes in the comics?

Not sure, but I thought he was supposed to cross all lines.

 

[Willie Lumpkin]

I hope Malkovich is Puppet Master. That would be near perfect.

Maybe Nathaniel Richards if not Puppet Master? That could work too.

I think I may be starting to get excited about all this.

 

[Sebastos]

I going to guess John Malkovich is a minor villain. He sort of looks like Red Ghost so I am going with Red Ghost

Malkovich is the alternate universe Vulture.

 

[blue scholar]

Nice.

One of my main takeaways from The First Omen was that Father Brennan had a booming voice.

 

[Kane52630]

Can't wait for Ineson to kill it as Galactus.

No he's universe specific. There's been plenty of alternate universe versions of him.

Ooh that’s a great call.

 

[Iceman]

Legit great news about Ineson!! I hope he plays Galactus for a very long time way beyond just this film.

 

[JP]

I could also see Malcovich playing Lyndon B. Johnson, LOL

 

[CaptainWagner]

I'm trying not to let my hopes get too high for this one but Ineson is such perfect casting as Galactus it's hard not to be hyped. I am still wary about bringing him in on the first movie, though.

As for Malkovich, Red Ghost would be random but also make a lot of sense.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Red ghost is my second guess for him, but Marvel strayed away from the Mandarin so I'm entirely convinced red ghost is on the table. Although my third guess for him is Mad Thinker maybe you can do an amalgamation of the two.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

I'm going to also wager that Malkovich is playing Alicia Masters' stepfather.

 

[TheFuture]

Wow, that Galactus casting exceeded my expectation. I hope they are brave and make Galactus as terrifying as they can, because it would be a waste of this guy's talent to not go there.

 

[Silvermoth]

That’s cool! I’m not familiar with that actor but Ralph is what galactus would do after a big planetary buffet so I’m taking that as a good sign

 

[Silvermoth]

That could be fun

 

[jerkhero]

Well, now it's confirmed that Galactus will have an amazing voice. Great casting.

 

[Chris B]

I've seen speculation that Malkovich could be playing Nathaniel Richards. Which I can kind of see.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

Tho, he would be pretty spot on for puppet master... I feel like they'll wait on introducing Alicia till there in the main universe

 

[Spider-Fan]

I can't see him as Puppet Master solely cause if he was, he'd end up a throw away character. We are not going to have a Galactus A Plot and a Puppet Master B Plot, so he would end up being a dude for like one action sequence and then be done. Which Puppet Master is mostly interesting for his connections to Alicia and such. So it would just not do the character justice IMO. You could easily do a future Thing series or spinoff and use him as the main villain of that. Which is why I think a minor character like Red Ghost would work better. He is never gonna be a main villain of a movie or have that kind of potential. So no one cares if he is there for a sequence and gets immediately beat.

But, there's always the chance that if he is Puppet Master, you just have him sent to jail or put away somewhere then dust him off again for sequels and spin-offs, doesn't necessarily have to be a one and done.

It sort of makes him one if the endgame here is the FF are from an alternate world and Secret Wars combines everything. I cannot imagine that minor characters who are in jail will just suddenly come over or that the entire FF Rogue gallery comes over. That would be kind of silly and weird, lol. If he is a villain, unless he is voicing another Herald or something, probably is going to be 1 and done

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

I keep forgetting they're allegedly in a alternate universe.

Ugh.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

We could even see him again as the main MCU variant, too... So he'd get to play too different versions of the same character (which the same can be said for any character he plays, tho)
